The Ayurveda Medicine Department offers courses for non-degree- or certificate-seeking students interested in Ayurvedic Medicine. For students holding an Ayurvedic Health Counselor/ Wellness Educator and/ or Ayurvedic Practitioner certificate, some courses may be eligible for Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits, if the courses have been approved by the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) for CEUs.

Further, some of these courses may be transferrable into academic programs offered by the Ayurveda Medicine Department, though some may have additional requirements to facilitate transfer.
